Stay : The Moscow of the Tsars of Russia
Capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, it lost this title in 1712 when Peter the Great founded Saint Petersburg. However, a new administrative entity was created there: the Moscow Government. The construction of St. Petersburg was very long and laborious, and Moscow had always been, for several centuries, the city of residence of the tsars of Russia. So this Imperial Moscow does exist. We propose you to discover it through this idea of original circuit.
